On the Companion Cube Cake there are two characters. The characters are Utena and Anthy from the anime Revolutionary Girl Utena. Why their on the Companion Cube Cake, I'm not sure, but they are also adorable! ^_^

i especially love the pee wee's playhouse cake, prolly because i used to watch the show with my kids when they were little. i'd giggle and snort at so many of the jokes that went right over their innocent lil heads.

@Charlene: "Old school" usually refers to something from around the 1980's. This is because this word was first used as part of POPULAR parlance (as opposed to its original, more lofty diction- this is when EVERYBODY started saying it all the time,) in the 1990's to refer to rap artists of the 1980's, who made more dance-able, light-hearted music which was very different from 90's gangsta rap.

Omg..Pee Wee!!!! I almost screamed when I saw that. I used to watch that all the time growing up (and still do now). Good thing I didn't know it could be done into a wedding cake...my husband would not have been pleased.

I think the people who regularly read and respond to this web site are among the smartest and funniest people online. This is one site where I not only look forward to the main site (and Jen's comments) but also the reader comments as well. Thanks for the daily smiles--and instruction.

The tonberry looks like it's going to attack that pie in the corner. Poor pie, it's doomed! It'll have plenty of time to contemplate its short life and the irony of being iced by a cake while the tonberry shuffles forth though. ^_^

The Companion Cube cake, was it for a lesbian wedding? Those two little chibis in front look like two girls, right? Or I am just blind? It would take a pretty secure male to have a little girl chibi represent him on the cake. It would be AWESOME though. :D

Okay, this is my last post, but for realz ya'll need to check out the CCC (companion cube cake) link. I am a puddle of teary goo! Basically, the whole wedding is like the cake: tasteful, nerdy and beautiful. JEALOUS!

The C Cube cake is just cute!its a stand joke in my house to comment on any cake with "The cake is a lie". Try and explain that at work with a straight face and not have your friends go WHAT!?Wonder if they had that awesome song play at the wedding from the end of the game."When your dead and gone, I'll still be alive"..LMAO!

omg! I was totally excited to see the Tonberry cake! (not because I actually know what it is though, and don't worry, my gamer husband rolled his eyes at me when I told him that). I know the people at Renaissance Productions, and years ago they made a cake for our production of the play All My Sons...I've been meaning to submit it as a Sweet for a while, but I was afraid my pics were sub-par. I'm glad they got a moment to shine though!

Although perhaps the vows should now include the statement "To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, 'til one of us euthanizes the other one in order to escape from a megalomaniac artificial intelligence."

Squee over the companion cake (how sad I was when it had to go in the incinerator. My baby!) And OMG Pee Wee's Playhouse!!! That was my favorite show as a kid and I was so excited when Adult Swim had it on like two years ago during the summer. They need to put it back on. "If you love it so much, why don't you marry it?" "I WILL!"

I used love love my weekend shift at the diner because it allowed me to watch all of Pee-wee before work:Come on in, and pull yourself up a chair (like Chairry !)Let the fun begin, it's time to let down your hair !Pee-wee's so excited,'cause all his friends have been invited (that's you !)To go wacky, at Pee-wee's playhouse!

Globey's spinnin', Mr. Window's grinnin','cause Pterri's flyin' by (hello !)The flowers are singin', the picture phone is ringin',And the dinosaur family goes, "hi!";Mr. Kite's soarin', Conky's still a snorin',There's the flashing magic screen.The countess is so classy, Randy's kinda sassy -A nuttier establishment you've never seen !Spend the day with Pee-wee and you'll see what we mean ! (come on !)

Get outta bed, there'll be no more nappin'! (wake up!)'cause you've landed in a place where anything can happen -Now we've given you fair warnin' !It's gonna be that kind of mornin' -For bein' wacky !For getting nutty !Golly, it's cuckoo !At Pee-wee's playhouse!(Sorry so long, but I couldn't resist treating my fellow old-school geeks!)

Gir suggests that those two characters probably have some meaning to the geeks, maybe their favorite anime?

The Pee Wee's Playhouse cake is fab ! Just so you know, I don't think that is supposed to be Pee Wee and Miss Yvonne getting married...her dress isn't fluffy enough and Pee Wee is already married to a fruit salad ! (eye winking)

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
